Summary of Receipt
11411 and 8 do yet more research and figure out that celestial events are in fact linked to the Otherside, as the Flipside and Otherside are 'symbiotically' linked. That's why when Astoria tried to blow up the Otherside, the original (Second Cafe, I believe) Cafe tried to stop them. However, interestingly, they were doing so by working with Muriel, who symbolises eclipses and destruction. Fortunately, Muriel was handled by the old CaD, and in any case has no intention of destroying the Flipside until the Apocalypse. Which means the Apocalypse could be coming in three days.

RECEIPT: BLOODMOON03
STATUS: OPEN
Ok, we have 3 days to figure out what's happening, or will happen, or what has happened before. Thankfully * is helping me out directly with research. She has access to a lot more than I do, and she's dug up something interesting. Something bad. Big bad.
Such celestial events like natural disasters and other phenomena do have some effect on the Otherside. Basically, we're in a symbiotic relationship with the Otherside. It's why when A23 tried to blow it up a few years back, the original CaD had to stop them. Now A23 was working with the Big Bad Muriel at the time, and Muriel… is a celestial being. Not just any celestial being, a celestial being who embodies the very concept of eclipses and, well, destruction in general.
Ah-ha! That's it! Right? Well… yes and no. Yes, Muriel embodies eclipses and has tried to destroy the Otherside once before, but not only does Muriel have no interest in destroying the Flipside, Muriel's tab was considered paid in full by the original CaD. Sure, I don't think that means Muriel is dead-dead, but certainly disposed of at the moment. Besides, Muriel has no interest in destroying the Flipside… that is… until Apocalypse.
I know it's not a concrete answer, but it's another pin on the board at the moment, and that's the best we've got. Could the Apocalypse be coming in 3 days? Well, I guess we'll see. So far, every apocalypse prediction has been wrong.
I guess with all the, uh, information here, this report will probably need to be put in the hidden channel, huh? Wow. Just a few weeks ago was my first receipt, and now my first HIDDEN receipt. I'm really moving up the corporate ladder.
